About this record
Two catalogue numbers sit on this German TELDEC issue: 6.26600 on the spine and 6.26600 BU on the back cover, so the sleeve itself carries the variant identification. Demand is steady rather than frantic, with 1111 collectors holding a copy and 64 listing it as wanted, against a community rating of 3.96 from 95 votes.
The runout etchings show a TELDEC Schallplatten GmbH pressing made in Hamburg, and the sleeve credits the 1987 compilation as a remastered stereo LP in gatefold form.
What drives its value
Price guide figures for this German TELDEC LP run from 13.11 USD for an M copy down to 0.69 USD for a P copy. The NM figure is 11.73 USD, the VG+ figure is 8.97 USD and the VG figure is 6.21 USD; these are estimates as of the guide date rather than live sales.
No lowest asking price or count of copies for sale is recorded in the data, so current market supply cannot be confirmed. With 1111 collectors holding a copy and 64 wanting one, the 16-track compilation is common enough that condition, not rarity, sets the price.
Its stated position among the other pressings in the listing is the 1987 German release, and the 1987 year on the sleeve and label credits both point to this as the release being valued.
How to appraise this pressing
Confirm the exact pressing by reading the two catalogue numbers: the spine reads 6.26600 and the back cover reads 6.26600 BU, and the label is TELDEC. Check the runout for the matrix strings 6.26600-01-1 and 6.26600-01-2, and for the stamped etchings ᴑ C-6.26 600-01-1 BN and ᴑ C-6.26 600-01-2 BN, which tie the disc to TELDEC Schallplatten GmbH or Teldec-Press GmbH.
Verify the gatefold sleeve and the printed innersleeve with credits for all songs, and note the barcode 4001406266003. Grade the record against the NM, VG+ and VG tiers, looking at each side's playing surface under light and at the sleeve edges, since the 16 tracks span publishing years from 1965 to 1987 across both sides.

Frequently asked

The price guide gives 8.97 USD for a VG+ copy. This is an estimate as of the guide date, not a live sale price, and an NM copy is listed at 11.73 USD for comparison.
What is the difference between the two catalogue numbers?
The spine carries 6.26600 and the back cover carries 6.26600 BU. The printed sleeve states that the first number is from the spine and the second from the back cover, so the pair identifies the pressing.
How do I confirm the matrix on this pressing?
Read the dead wax for the strings 6.26600-01-1 and 6.26600-01-2, plus the etched ᴑ C-6.26 600-01-1 BN and ᴑ C-6.26 600-01-2 BN. These point to the TELDEC Schallplatten GmbH or Teldec-Press GmbH plant.
What is a P copy worth?
